Questions

"when was the first time you were depressed?" depressed depressed? or just plain sad. because i wouldn't be able to answer for either the sadness has followed me clenched onto me like a needy child for as long as i can remember too many dreadful teary nights I've lost count at one point it was a nightly routine something i waited for expected like my sadness nothing new pain,sleepless nights,never ending thoughts they follow me so instead of asking when was the first time i was depressed, ask when was the last time i was genuinely happy.

I would really like to see a companion poem written by you, in honor of the last line. I think it would be marvelous!
